Hi all,
Please help identify the marks on this gold band.
Could this be Chinese markings for full gold?
Is it possible to determine approximate age from these marks?

Re: Gold marking. Chinese?
The Chinese word "pure", when used as a precious metal mark, indicates a metal fineness that, up until 2015, was 995 or higher, but which has since legally been reduced to 990. This particular pure gold fineness mark used 1989- to date.
